Answer:

The answer is indeed letter C. My boss is a tornado.

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes a comparison between two different things in order to attribute a quality of one of them to the other. To make such comparison, the metaphor states that "thing A is thing B". That's exactly what happens in letter C. My boss is a tornado. The literal meaning would be impossible, but we are able to understand that the boss has some characteristics in common with a tornado. Maybe he is relentless or destructive, just like a tornado.

Options A and B are similes. A simile is a figure of speech similar to a metaphor in the sense that it also makes a comparison. It needs support words that the metaphor doesn't use - "as" or "like". Option D is a personification because it attributes a living quality - gulping - to a non-living thing - a car.

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

a. Alice Eagly.

Explanation:

Alice H. Eagly, a social psychologist, has published widely on the issues of sex differences, the psychology of gender, social role theory, attitudes- attitude change and it's structure, leadership and gender. She suggests that as men and women are constrained to different roles in the work force, it is normally assumed that that work embodies the psychological characteristics of the roles they play without any exception. She concludes that the most important and prevailing issues of gender differences in power, nurture and assertiveness are caused by the social hierarchy and the labor divide between the two genders.

Write four to five sentences describing how the two adaptations of Hamlet are similar and how they are different
kipiarov [429]
 The first adaptation combines Hamlet and the ghost into one part. This makes Hamlet seem like he is really suffering from madness. The second adaptation makes Hamlet seem much more in control. His tone is troubled but also thoughtful. The different adaptations helped me see the complexity of Hamlet's character.

Select the relative clause from the drop-down menu to complete the sentence.
kirill [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is 1:  which was home to many other extinct species.

Explanation:

“Which was home to many other extinct species“ is a relative clause that provides us more information about something – in this case, about Tasmania.

The main function of relative clauses is to join two sentences and provide some additional information.

All relative clauses begin with some relative pronoun (which, when, who, where or that).   Because of that, we cannot consider other options as the correct answer.

The relative clause comes immediately after the subject or the object of the sentence.  As mentioned, relative clauses refer to the noun that precedes, by giving us additional information about that noun.
